A great mountain for family gathering. They have got the cafe not far away from the car park which server excellent highland food and definitely not expensive. Also the portion is quite good too. After filling the stomach with lots of food, it is good to have a walk up to the mountain as you have gained a lot of energy. It doesn't take a lot of time to get a great view. Definitely recommend to bring a mountain bike as they got a great little dirt track and it is for every age. I see small child riding as well. I can see a lot of dog owners bringing their dogs as well as it is a great place. Worth a visit if u got a family or friends that want a comfortable place

A number of routes. Last time, we did the Windy route, and it was quite a lit of steps and a fairly steep route. This time, we took the route through the mountain garden and cycle path, was a little more zig-zag, and only very steep in a few places. Amazing views for miles. Well worth the trip.

Lovely short walk for little ones on quite an even path. But still lots to see. Amazing open views of mountains, stream and a small waterfall. There's a cafe and some activities at the base.

Visit Cairngorm Mountain, one of the top attractions to visit in Aviemore and the surrounding area. There's something for all ages all year round. Find us in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park offering a choice of great activities to experience. Explore Scotland's favourite mountain resort, located just 10 miles from Aviemore between Perth and Inverness. From panoramic viewpoints to a range of unique outdoor activities and experiences, it's a great day out for all ages. Enjoy the thrills of Scotland's only gravity fuelled mountain carting, mountain biking park, mountain tubing and zip line, experience a guided walk with dramatic views down to Loch Morlich, visit our mountain garden with viewpoint and camera obsura or enjoy some retail therapy in our shop. Our new adventure ball runs are perfect for families with young children providing a fun, educational experience in the outdoors. You can also stayover in our motorhome park providing one of the most romantic viewpoints for your overnight stay. Finish your visit with a leisurely lunch or snack in the Cairngorm Cafe in front of the cosy log fire in the colder months or the outdoor terrrace with mountain views during summer. Cairngorm Mountain is home to Scotland's only mountain railway returning for winter 2024/25 which transports visitors to the highest restaurant and bar in the UK with an extensive outdoor terrace to capture the panoramic views. The railway is currently out of service but expected to run this winter season 2024/25. In the winter months Cairngorm Mountain transforms to Scotland's most popular ski resort. With 30km of ski runs, 13 lifts and a fully maintained freestyle park. The snowsports season typically runs from December through until April, but this varies from year to year depending on weather. You don't have to have your own ski or snowboard equipment either, because you can hire everything you need with us.

On our road trip we went to see here. It's August, windy of course but it was dry for us. We did start the windy walk but we were defeated but we had to turn around. (Just not fit enough!) But we did see some lovely sights. A small garden also showed the local plant life and a small pond showed us the infamous midges that are about where there is no wind (as in the sheltered garden!) Food on site was cafe style and there was the gift shop too. Was quite fun

Amazing views from up there, even from the car park! Lots to do up there including new mountain karting, souvenir shop and bit on the expensive side decent coffee shop tho with log fire Unfortunately the Train is still not working fingers crossed they sort it for the winter season would be a massive boost for them and everyone who enjoys skiing/boarding
